Sun moon and stars by Elizabeth Maconchy Lyrics
All appeared new and strange at first
Inexpressibly rare and delightful and beautiful
The streets were mine, the Temple was mine, the
People were mine, and so were the sun and moon and
Stars, and all the world was mine. All things
Were spotless and pure and glorious, Yea and
Infinitely mine and joyful and precious. But
Little did the Infant dream that all the treasures
Of the world were by. And that himself was so the
Cream and crown of all, which round about did lie
Inexpressibly rare and delightful and beautiful
The streets were mine, the Temple was mine, the
People were mine, and so were the sun and moon and
Stars, and all the world was mine. All things
Were spotless and pure and glorious, Yea and
Infinitely mine and joyful and precious. But
Little did the Infant dream that all the treasures
Of the world were by. And that himself was so the
Cream and crown of all, which round about did lie
